"85
percent of a child’s brain development takes place by the age of 5.
Synapses are created with astonishing speed in the first three years
of life. For the rest of the first decade, a child’s brain has
twice as many synapses as an adult’s brain. This means that a
child’s environment during the first five years of life can greatly
impact the brains’ ability to develop.”

“What
occurs during the first five years of life can have an enormous
impact on not only do well the baby’s brain develops at the moment,
but how well that baby learns and grow throughout their lifetime,”
